What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

Muirenn, this thread occasionally makes me feel like a pig! I'm pretty sure I'd starve (well, be very cranky) on some of these diets. I have no idea how many calories I'm eating, though.

B: Cereal and 1%, OJ
L: Turkey burger on ww bun, with ketchup, cheddar, lettuce
S: 2 slices of pound cake
S2: Granola bar, chai with milk and sugar
D: Fried brown rice (with chicken, egg), stir-fried red cabbage
D: Homemade mint ice cream

I average around 1500 calories on non-ride days, and try to net at least 1,200 when I ride. Sometimes that latter is difficult to do. I ate too much yesterday for a non-ride day - hard to say what the total was since I went out for lunch, but it was probably closer to 1700 rather than 1500...

Yesterday was a non-ride day

B: steel-cut oats with 5 almonds, dried cranberries, skim milk and coffee

L: I rarely go out to lunch - but went to a Spanish Tappas close to my workplace for lunch - they have a nice buffet with a wide variety of things: just had two saucers of food (can't really call them plates) - a very small amount of spinach salad with about .5 ounce of goat cheese, 2 shrimp, 3-4 marinated mushrooms, roasted cauliflower and some green vegetable (don't know what it was), a couple strips of roasted red pepper and grilled skinless chicken with mushrooms.

S: 1/2 cliff bar. Then my boss bribed me with 1/2 of a chocolate chip cookie from Subway...I could have resisted the full cookie but a half cookie is harder to resist Catrin the cookie monster...

D: Roasted chicken breast sandwich with Ezekiel bread, lo-fat Havarti cheese, tomato and low-fat mayo. Yummy

S: bran cereal with a little skim milk and a couple of almonds - I crave this sometimes.

Sorry, Ladies, no calorie counting here - I just don't have the patience for that!

Cheerios, 1% milk, strawberries 1/2 banana, coffee
L: patty melt on rye
D: 1/2 plate of asiago sauced penne with veges, 1 glass of wine

Breakfast #1 before my ride:
White Chocolate Macadamia Clif Bar
Water

Breakfast #2 post ride:
Bagel and strawberries
Tea

Thinking about lunch and dinner now. I'm sure one will involve hominy because I can't get enough of it!

Enjoy your day whatever you eat!

Dailyplate counts my calories for me. I average (when I'm eating on track) 1800-2200 calories a day. I try and stay around 1600 on non exercise days which is basically almost never. Even if I don't have a "scheduled" workout, I find myself furiously cleaning house for several hours or playing with the kids.

B: Ezekiel Bread toast 2/ eggs and bacon
S: Green Smoothie
Ride: Endura & homemade lara bar
L: Ultrameal Shake & Salad
S: Granola & Greek Yogurt
D: At my in-laws . . . hopefully there will be some healthy options!

I use "Lose It" on my iPhone, and it also counts my calories for me - there is no way I would do it otherwise...

B: whole wheat bagel with low salt ham/cheese sandwich before 36 mile ride, small fruit salad and coffee near end of ride

L: salad with chicken, goat cheese, peppers, an orange

S: cheese

D: grilled salmon with a soy based marinade on a bed of 3 scallion pancakes, with a side of cole slaw, cup of gazpacho, glass of red wine (I resisted the mojito at this restaurant)
